The results of this test are used for calculating the total solids in the sample and, by common usage, all materials volatile at this test temperature are designated as moisture.

Moisture analysis (along with sulfated ash) is used to calculate the amount of active polymer in the material and shall be considered when determining the amount of ethylcellulose in various functions.

1.1 These test methods cover the testing of ethylcellulose.

1.2 The test procedures appear in the following order:

	Sections
Moisture	to
Sulfated Ash	to
Chlorides (as Sodium Chloride)	to
Ethoxyl Content	to
Viscosity	to

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This test method covers the determination of the volatile content of ethylcellulose.
